Many of the tools don’t need redesigned. “If it ain’t broke, no need to fix it.” They have done a great job of bringing well made and affordable tools to those who are tired of paying the prices on the tool trucks.
HF shouldn't even bother selling chemicals unless they sell them discounted or at least at cost. Otherwise a waste of space on the shelf. Reminds me of when they had spray paint in a locked case no one ever bought.
*sigh* Icon isn't actually coming up with anything, it's a ODM (Original distribution manufacturer), HF just contracts them to put their name on it. Look at Matcos newer water pump pliers, they're the exact same as the Doyles from HF.
Absolutely I know what you mean. 👍
Harbor freight claims to have a development center where they test and develop tool designs. That said, they have yet to come out with a truly unique product to my knowledge. As you said, it’s still just ODMing the same as Quinn and Pittsburgh, just with higher quality control and better suppliers
@thetank2078 ya lol they should try using that development center for once. While I'm happy with what they have. I get it, everyone copies, but dang come on now. Come up with something unique.
@TonyTheTechnician unique =/= useful. Knipex is way overrated anyway.
The Knipex Twin Grip is amazing. I bought them originally because I seem to have a plier fetish. 😅 They aren't the everyday plier but, after I used them a couple of times, I was so impressed, I bought a second pair so I could have one handy in a travel kit. Recently, I ran into a situation where I ended up using them for several hours on dozens of screws. Not sure how I might have completed the task, or how long it would have taken without them. Like many specialty tools, you might not need them every day, but when you need them,you usually REALLY need them. Vampliers were god, Twin grips better.
Completely agree!! 👍
dang i got excited i thought i was gonna see the new icon knock off of the snap on needle nose. i have some change on the floor that could be picked up 💅
Hahaha I think they already have those, what a great way to pick up change 🤣👍
Yeah Harbor freight is taking forever to release them. Maybe they will be out soon.
I can definitely say the new edge lights are very impressive it definitely gives my lp4 a run for there money
Very nice. Good to hear. Thanks for sharing
Hello again, Tony
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 You know, I think most tool companies copy one another. In fact, I thought by now one of them would have copied the Milwaukee Insider Ratchet? Again thank you 😅
Absolutely true 👍 thank you
I think having cheaper copies actually helps the original to some extent. It makes it a more apples to apples comparison where the main difference is the quality. So the original can actually justify their price tag. The copiers market also isn’t always the same as the originals either. Knipex makes tools for professionals that want the best tools. HF sells tools to budget minded people, professionals and DIY that probably weren’t gonna buy the Knipex anyways. Also, Knipex is a company that so thoroughly designs their tools that a company like HF would really just be wasting their time to come with a stand out design.
Absolutely 100% agree. That's why even though it's annoying to see a complete copy, I completely understand it, it's a smart business move and it's an affordable option for weekend warriors diyers or if you know you won't use a tool much no sense in spending extra for it.
Bauer,I have the 20 volt 3/8 cordless impact and is not a bad tool.Only complaint is they do not sell their cordless tools as a kit with a couple batteries and a charger.Have to purchase the batteries and charger seperate
Ya hopefully they will start kits here soon like the Hercules
😉👍Nice cheers mate
Thank you cheers!
Still wondering when the 1/4 icon socket set coming out that's in foam . At sema they said march
That's a good question.
That price on the shop price is a little steep. Look out for 20% coupons for that or a $50 off sale on it. I paid $140 for mine a few years ago. Works great and couldn't have bought the steel, hardware and jack for that price.
Copying happens all the time. From the clothing you wear to the cheerios you eat to the sockets you work with. Right or wrong, it happens.
Very true!! Nothing like having 100 brands of the same stuff
@@TonyTheTechnician 🤣
I like my viking 1700 jump start with AC but the AC never works. Returned one just to get the same issues with the next one. Can't tell if that's my luck or it's a known problem because I don't see anyone else mention it.
Good to know I appreciate you sharing your experiences with them
wait you from sioux city Iowa, if so that weird, I'm not to far from sioux city, like hour and half away in direction of storm lake
Almost all of the chemicals at harbor freight are made in the USA. Icon is approaching the major tool brands watch for sales.
Icon producing tools similar to other more expensive brands if nothing else is good for the consumer. Imagine snap on or knipex lower their prices to something just a little more reasonable to compete.
While I do agree it's good for those who don't need the better version and it's good for business, I can guarantee those big names won't be dropping prices to compete. Although that would be great lol
@@TonyTheTechnician ya I'm not holding my breath either. And I'll be honest, my pliers drawer is full of snap on pliers 😂
I always love your vids, Tony. And I love this one. But getting annoyed at ICON for copying others is time wasted. After Obama signed into law the "America Invents Act",
it basically gave free rein for any company to run ramped over one another and copy other designs. (A communist move IMO.) And it goes WAY further than tools.
Remember the Fiat/Chrysler redesign of the RAM in 2009? They had that cool "spoiler" effect on the top of the tailgate. Enter the Ford F-150 redesign in 2015..... Spoiler effect.
Not related to your channel........ But VOTE people like Obama OUT. This may restore pattens, and/or common sense. ;)
Ya I completely understand. People copy things all the time. But a majority of the time a company will still make some things themselves with there own design and some similar to others. But idk if icon has any hand tools they have actually put design thought into. It's just annoying but I completely understand it. And shoot honestly lots of people buy them, so looking at it from a business point of view it's genius lol. But I love new tools and when new tools are released just to be a cheap copy of another is sometimes disappointing if that makes sense lol. I appreciate your input. Thank you for watching.
Good job calling harbor freight and icon out for all the copies. Shameful business model
How is that a shameful business model? Name me one industry that does NOT do that today.
@@paulmysliborski4832I can easily answer that question but a scrub like yourself isn’t worth it.
Cheaper tool with decent quality? I’ll take it all day 🤷♂️
So Henry Ford had a shameful business model for copying earlier manufacturers, while giving the world a lesser expensive vehicle?
